Satyanveshi is Rituparno Ghosh's last film and is to be released after his death. The film is based on Byomkesh Bakshi who was a detective and used to call him Satyanveshi/ Satyanbeshi.

The word is made up of Sanskrit [and Bangla] words Satya, that is Truth, and Anveshan, which means investigation, search, discovery. Hence, Satyanveshi would be someone who searches for the truth, or discovers the Truth, or in short, Truth-seeker, as the character Byomkesh Bakshi calls himself.

And the honorable Minister has diverted the money with the skilled use of wrists [like in cricket]. There is no fielder towards the boundary line, and as people watch, one more account opened in Swiss bank. But how is your scam bigger than mine. Yes, Super scam's shine is whiter.]

Come, let's talk about culture,Talk a bit about behaviour.. Of Achaar, listen for a moment..Lime, Mango, mixture of five,All pickles got failed,since the time we got in our countryPickle of Pickles,Corruption.. Corruption.. Corruption

[This one is spoken as a pickle's, that is, achaar's recipe, in Nana Patekar's usual style where he speaks non stop, like in Krantiveer.]

First take a big dishonesty. Now divide this dishonesty into small pieces and let it dry. Then taking the oil of villainousness in a bowl, put the pieces of dishonesty into is. Now add to it a little greed, some habit of getting money without doing anything, and mix it well and make a paste. Corruption is ready.

There, they cram money into pillows,here, the public is hungry..Their cows also eat almonds [for politicians]And (here) farmers die with rope in neck [they commit suicides]Open the doors of the parliament,The public knocks, Open them..

Abhinav Singh Kashyap, having created Dabangg, is here with his second film, with an outrageous name, Besharam. The trailer is out, and here we are with the funny trailer, and the nuances of it.

The trailer begins with Ranbir singing in 'Sarson de Khet' that is Mustard fields, a Yashraj favorite. To clarify the Yashraj connection, the song is none other than Tujhe Dekha to ye jaana sanam, Pyaar hota hai deewana sanam, in a Punjabified avatar, with the first two words of both lines translated to Punjabi.

Tainu vekhya to ye jaana sanamPyaar honda ae Deewana sanam..

The introduction of Babli, the hero says Badmaash, i.e. rogue, Awara i.e. vagrant, Robdaar, that is overbearing, which is almost exactly the same as dabangg in its meaning, and lastly hoshiyaar, that is intelligent.

The first dialog from Babli is 'Mere seene mein dil nahi dost, Jigar hai jigar. Aur wo kabhi toot-ta nahi. naanv aega Babli.' that is, 'In my chest there is no heart, it's Jigar there. And it never breaks. And the name is Babli.'

As such, jigar means liver, yes, Liver. But somehow the word in Bollywood has become synonymous with something that makes a person very powerful. Not yet sure where is the origin of this problem.

Then, there is a song, that does sound fine, and then the heroine enters with her first dialog when Babli says, "Lagda hai teri ragon mein khoon nahi, rabdi daud rahi hai rabdi.." [It seems in your body, there is no blood running, but milk cream.] And the heroine's dialog is what christens the hero as the film's title - "Tu na, tera naam hona chahiye tha Besharam!" [You, your name should have been shameless].

The next bit is one with Rishi Kapoor, Neetu and Ranbir, that is real life dad, mum and son, as Ranbir asks, "Hainji aap kaun?" [What, who're you?] To which Rishi replies in quite a Haryanvi tone, "Tera Pappa babua, Chulbul Chautala, ar yo teri amma Head constable Bulbul Chautala". He's not lying as they're actually his father and mother, but not in the movie, where the dialog is just to show some arrogance over the rogue boy.

The fun doesn't end here. Abhinav decides to give a tribute to his first film, and while he had named Rishi 'Chulbul' in this movie which is Salman's screen name in Dabangg, it's the dialog that says it all. When Rishi says "Are Babli Chhodunga na Tanne!" that is, Babli I won't leave you, Ranbir replies "Are khud ko to chhuDa le mote, sirf Chulbul naam rakh lene se koi Dabangg nahi ban jaata!" [First get yourself out fat guy, Just by naming yourself Chulbul, you don't become a Dabangg].

Now, yes, Abhinav has made a mention of Dabangg in a good way, which would be a positive towards Salman Khan and bros, he has at the same time not Named Salman explicitly and used the word Dabangg. Interesting.

The last scene with Javed Jaffrey comes from a Rajkumar Santoshi movie. I mean, not really, just kind of.

Javed puts a pistol on Ranbir's head and says, "Hamaare Dhandhe mein galti ki sirf ek sazaa hoti hai.." and Ranbir shouts, "Maut!" and follows it up with, "Mujhe kya pata nahi hai? Picture main bhi dekhta hoon bhaisaab!" that is 'Do I not know? Even I see movies, sir!'. Oh, the bhaisaab here is the one with contempt, where Babli is trying to prove that he's more intelligent than he's thought of as.

And then, there is an epilogue.

Ranbir: Jai lai.. [In Haryanvi tone, "Take this", while bringing out a sock from his pant, right next to his pen**.]

How do I tell you of the pain of my heart,How do I tell of the stinging in the heart..Without my beloved I feel like a monkGoing mad, I wander here and there,Now don't make me further restless, O beloved..

For you, I have adorned this bed,Where there is fragrance in every flower..My entire body is fragrant with your smell,I swing in your arms..The night has become a newly-wed, O my beloved..The night has become a newlywed..

[Mahiwaal, Farhad and Majnu were the heroes of the famous love stories of Sohni-Mahiwaal, Shirin--Farhaad and Laila-Majnnu respectively. Also, thokna means to beat up, but in the Mumbai goons' language, it means to kill, and here the sound of dhichkiyaoon with the line means the latter.]

This is the first old Hindi song of great singer Mukesh on my blog. It's my pleasure that this evergreen 'Desh Bhakti Geet', I am adding on the behalf of upcoming Indian independence day.

Chhodo Kal Ki Batein song lyrics from the movie Hum Hindustani which was released during the year 1960. This song is very beautifully sung by Mukesh Mukharji, and it was written by lyricist Prem Dhawan.The Music of this song as well as whole songs in the movie Hum Hindustani composed by Usha Khanna.

Chitthi na koi sandesh is a beautiful heart touching song lyrics from the psychological thriller film Dushman, starring Sanjay Dutt, Kajol and Asutosh Rana. The film is directed by Tanuja Chandra and produced by Mukesh Bhatt and Pooja Bhatt.

This Chitthi na koi sandesh song lyrics penned by Anand Baxi and its lovely music composed Uttam Singh, I thought the main reason behind this song's popularity is the voice of Jagjit Singh, which makes this song live and heart touching.

[The lines are important for, one, they're the lines of most favorite bhajan of Mahatma Gandhi, who began the system of Satyagraha (and coined the term), and here the protesters seem to follow his way, though partially. And two, the lines signify that the protesters are remembering their Gods and asking for Their support.]

Satyagraha.. Satyaagraha..
[For detailed Meaning of Satyagraha, see THIS POST]

Ab tak dheeraj maanga thaPrabhu ab dheeraj mat dena
We had asked for patience to be given to us till now,
Now don't give us any more patience..

[The protesters say that they wanted to remain patient, but now things have gone beyond control, so they don't want it anymore.]

Toot raha hai ab Vishwaas, paanch barsh dhundhlaa aakaashkaun dwaar hum khatkaayenkaun se vaade dohraayein,aam aadmi kitna aam,Raghupati Raghav Raja Raam..
Now the faith is ending,
We see a hazy sky for five years,
not knowing which gate to knock at,
and which promises (that were made to us) should we repeat
How common is the common man here,
O Lord Raam..

Ghar se nikle hain is baar,tan man dhan sab hain taiyaarKhaali haath na lautenge,Tay kar ke aaye is baar..
This time we've come out of the homes,
with everything ready
[tan-man-dhan is literally body, soul and money, basically used for everything one has.]
We'll not be back empty handed,
This time we have come with that decision..

[सत्याग्रह] Satyagraha is Hindi-Sanskrit word. this word is combination of Two different [सत्याग्रह] Satya + 'आग्रह' means 'insistence or perseverance' and सत्य means 'Truth'

Thus [सत्याग्रह] Satyagraha means 'Perseverance of Truth'

Satyaagraha or Satyagraha was a term coined by Mahatma Gandhi for his unique way of fighting against llinjustice without being violent. As such the meaning of the word doesn't mention non-violence, still the term is used for non-violent methods of protesting.

Literally, Satyagraha is made of Satya and Aagraha, the former meaning Truth and the latter meaning Request. So the meaning is literally 'Request for Truth'. The aagraha here is also used as insistence, though usually it's not used to that effect, and hence Satyagraha is called Insistence for Truth.

Either way, the word is not just limited to request or insistence for Truth alone, but is used as a way of protesting against any injustice in an active but non-violent way.
